The Republicans are ending the Department of Education (established in 1979) but the Democrats can’t imagine abolishing ICE (established in 2003). “That is why you fail” as Yoda said

Epstein and probably Ivana, too. Her death was equally shady and convenient as hell.

Really looking forward to the Speaker of the House claiming to be unaware of the election results.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

It is amazing that we can simultaneously live in a surveillance state where everybody can film everything and also have this level of patently bs propaganda shaping the narrative.

That’s what we thought after round one and look how many of those folks were sane washed as “the adults in the room” and have gone on to build whole careers out of Trump commentary.

Republicans are dismantling government and governance norms and holding America hostage in the process.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

Just 6 years ago anti-vaxxers were a laughable fringe group. Now their victory is so total they're setting government policy. This is like if schools started teaching Flat Earth. A complete failure of education and science comms. Kids will die because we couldn't convince their parents of the truth.

It's gonna be awful for the rest of my life. And all cuz America just couldn't deal with a successful Black president earning his way into the house built by slaves.

The problem isn’t refugees on boats. The problem is oligarchs hoarding obscene amounts of wealth while most people fight to stay afloat.

Wages aren't tied to inflation, so the working class keeps falling behind no matter how hard they work.

THIS ORDER supersedes any previous order, proclamation, or directives to the extent they are in conflict.

New Mexico has issued a public health order that removes federal restrictions to COVID-19 vaccine access so that pharmacies in New Mexico can vaccinate people of all ages and risk profiles. Every state need to do this!

he'll always be dead in our hearts

There's officially been more accountability for corporate extramarital affairs at Coldplay concerts than there's been for the sitting president covering up a massive sex trafficking operation that targeted children.

i’m not seeing here in the constitution where it says every single day must be insane

Not that being presidential has ever been his thing but “Thank you for your attention to this matter” is what you see on a handwritten note outside the restaurant bathroom telling you not to throw your tampons in the toilet.

Sorry to be that girl but the exploded ICE budget is gonna be the thing that stops our midterm elections, right?

The pain of Election Day was not knowing how bad it could get. The fury of today is knowing how bad it will get.

I'd go a step further since I'm a believer we need a Project Rest of 2025 to get to 2026, WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW TO STOP IT? Brad Lander-style.

Extremely dark that the entire U.S. government is lying down to be steamrolled by something called the Trump agenda for fear of some force called "Donald Trump" while the actual Donald Trump has no idea what's happening

Keep calling

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

1) it was always fascism and fascism was the right word to use
2) they are building concentration camps and concentration camps are the right words to use
3) they are banning books and book bans is a fine way to describe the myriad ways they are banning them

Laughing in front of cages designed to hold migrants and refugees, many of whom came to this country fleeing extreme violence and poverty, and hoping to raise their children in a more compassionate country. And many of whom followed all the legal procedures to enter the country.

The complete failure of the media to understand and meet the moment has edged into absurdity. "Message of toughness" to describe the sort of gleeful sadism and fascism you'd hiss at during an exploitation movie. This is very obviously a human rights catastrophe.

ICE *already* can't meet their detainment numbers without rounding up children, veterans, people born in the U.S., people with no criminal records, people at immigration hearings, plus academics and visitors with valid visas.

So who do they plan to detain with >10x the budget?

The answer is: you.
